Married Life

What should a husband do to make his wife happy?

"Everything Under The Sun"
When a man meets a woman he desires, he will do everything in his power to make her happy. He'd go across town to find her favorite ice cream. He'd save up money to buy her a piece of jewelry she'd admired. I know one friend who went from being a wild party animal to a domesticated house cat!

A problem men have with marriage is that they (falsely) believe that once we've won their spouses the wooing is over. WRONG! Being a husband goes beyond an occasional bouquet of roses and the traditional box of Valentine's day chocolates. If you follow these simple rules you too can go from a sad sack to a veritable Casanova.

1. Put her first. If you have a tendency of putting your work before your wife, you are already halfway to divorce court! She needs to be tended and nurtured like the beautiful flower that she is. If don't take time from your busy schedule then you may find that someone else is putting her first.

2. Flowers are OK just go beyond roses. Sometimes flowers are an awesome way to convey your romantic side. Still you have to go beyond the traditional gift of flowers. Try daisies, or chrysanthemums. A variety bouquet is beautiful an will brighten up any sagging spirit. If you're married you should KNOW her favorite flower by now. If you are financially able send her flowers on every hour of the day. Or if you're financially strapped bring home one perfect flower and compare it to her beauty.

3. Make her dinner (send away the kids). One of the most romantic things a husband can do is to make his wife dinner. When she sees the time and effort you put into making "her" dinner she'll melt like hot butter! Also light some candles and make it a truly romantic dinner. Send the kids to grandma and make it all about her.

4. Give her a hot bubble bath with perfumes and lotions. If you give a woman a nice hot bubble bath with scented candles is worth a thousands kisses in return. She will thank you for the thoughtfulness and love watching her troubles melt away in the peaceful tranquil waters. Another good idea? Play some Barry White, Luther Vandross or whoever is her favorite singer while she lounges in the tub.

5. Give a massage that leads to HER pleasure not yours. Have you ever heard of a guy giving a massage and not expecting sex? Nope, she hasn't either. Women often expect you to get down and dirty when you give her a massage. Why not surprise her (for once) and make it all about her. She'll love the massage and love you even more for respecting her wants and needs. Besides think of the built up anticipation for when you do make love. Trust me she won't forget about it!

6. Dance with her in a unusual place. I remember once of the most beautiful memories I have of my parents is when they were dancing with each other in our backyard. The moon was full and the stars seemed to shine down on them both. It was so beautiful and I don't think there was any music playing whatsoever. I recall to this day that they both looked so much in love. It's one of my favorite memories. I bet it'll be one of hers as well.

These are just a few suggestions. You should really find out what your wife wants and cater to her whims. Take the time out to find out what your wife needs and wants. She's not only your partner in life, but she should also be your best friend. What would I do to make my wife happy? Everything under the sun.
